lowest priority on the queue for the current cpu vs curthread's
priority. In the case that curthread is waking up many threads of a
lower priority as would happen with a turnstile_broadcast() or wakeup()
of many threads this prevents them from all ending up on the current cpu.
- In sched_add() make the relationship between a scheduled ithread and
the current cpu advisory rather than strict. Only give the ithread
affinity for the current cpu if it's actually being scheduled from
a hardware interrupt. This prevents it from migrating when it simply
blocks on a lock.

maintain a separate td_incruntime to hold unbilled CPU usage for
the thread that has the previous properties of td_runtime.
When thread information is requested using the thread monitoring
sysctls, export thread td_runtime instead of process rusage runtime
in kinfo_proc.
This restores the display of individual ithread and other kernel
thread CPU usage since inception in ps -H and top -SH, as well for
libthr user threads, valuable debugging information lost with the
move to try kthreads since they are no longer independent processes.
There is universal agreement that we should rewrite the process and
thread export sysctls, but this commit gets things going a bit
better in the mean time. Likewise, there are resevations about the
continued validity of statclock given the speed of modern processors.

Remove this argument and pass curthread directly to underlying
VOP_LOCK1() VFS method. This modify makes the code cleaner and in
particular remove an annoying dependence helping next lockmgr() cleanup.
KPI results, obviously, changed.

As a side note, would be valuable to say that next commits will address
a similar cleanup about VFS methods, in particular vop_lock1 and
vop_unlock.

Now, lockmgr() function can only be called passing curthread and the
KASSERT() is upgraded according with this.
In order to support on-the-fly owner switching, the new function
lockmgr_disown() has been introduced and gets used in BUF_KERNPROC().
KPI, so, results changed and FreeBSD version will be bumped soon.
Differently from previous code, we assume idle thread cannot try to
acquire the lockmgr as it cannot sleep, so loose the relative check[1]
in BUF_KERNPROC().

implement shm_open(2) and shm_unlink(2) in the kernel:
- Each shared memory file descriptor is associated with a swap-backed vm
object which provides the backing store. Each descriptor starts off with
a size of zero, but the size can be altered via ftruncate(2). The shared
memory file descriptors also support fstat(2). read(2), write(2),
ioctl(2), select(2), poll(2), and kevent(2) are not supported on shared
memory file descriptors.
- shm_open(2) and shm_unlink(2) are now implemented as system calls that
manage shared memory file descriptors. The virtual namespace that maps
pathnames to shared memory file descriptors is implemented as a hash
table where the hash key is generated via the 32-bit Fowler/Noll/Vo hash
of the pathname.
- As an extension, the constant 'SHM_ANON' may be specified in place of the
path argument to shm_open(2). In this case, an unnamed shared memory
file descriptor will be created similar to the IPC_PRIVATE key for
shmget(2). Note that the shared memory object can still be shared among
processes by sharing the file descriptor via fork(2) or sendmsg(2), but
it is unnamed. This effectively serves to implement the getmemfd() idea
bandied about the lists several times over the years.
- The backing store for shared memory file descriptors are garbage
collected when they are not referenced by any open file descriptors or
the shm_open(2) virtual namespace.

dev2udev() when a tty was being detached concurrently with the sysctl
handler:
- Hold the 'tty_list_mutex' lock while we read all the fields out of the
struct tty for copying out later. Previously the pty(4) and pts(4)
destroy routines could set t_dev to NULL, drop their reference on the
tty and destroy the cdev while the sysctl handler was attempting to
invoke dev2udev() on the cdev being destroyed. This happened when the
sysctl handler read the value of t_dev prior to it being set to NULL
either due to it being stale or due to timing races. By holding the
list lock we guarantee that the destroy routines will block in ttyrel()
in that case and not destroy the cdev until after we've copied all of our
data. We may see a NULL cdev pointer or we may see the previous value,
but the previous value will no longer point to a destroyed cdev if we
see it.
- Fix the ttyfree() routine used by tty device drivers in their detach
methods to use ttyrel() on the tty so we don't leak them. Also, fix it
to use the same order of operations as pty/pts destruction (set t_dev
NULL, ttyrel(), destroy_dev()) so it cooperates with the sysctl handler.

This makes it possible to support ftruncate() on non-vnode file types in
the future.
- 'struct fileops' grows a 'fo_truncate' method to handle an ftruncate() on
a given file descriptor.
- ftruncate() moves to kern/sys_generic.c and now just fetches a file
object and invokes fo_truncate().
- The vnode-specific portions of ftruncate() move to vn_truncate() in
vfs_vnops.c which implements fo_truncate() for vnode file types.
- Non-vnode file types return EINVAL in their fo_truncate() method.

machine-independent support for superpages. (The earlier part was

be added to the various pmap implementations at a later date.
Initially, I am only supporting one large page size per architecture.
Moreover, I am only enabling the reservation system on amd64. (In

This option just adds complexity and the new implementation no longer
will support it, so axing it now that it is unused is probabilly the
better idea.
FreeBSD version is bumped in order to reflect the KPI breakage introduced

In the ports tree, kris found that only old OSKit code uses it, but as
it is thought to work only on 2.x kernels serie, version bumping will

The thread "extra argument" for the lockmgr interface is going to be
removed in the near future, but for the moment, just let kernel run for
some days with this check on in order to find potential deadlocking
places around the kernel and fix them.
p_candebug() will return EAGAIN which, if the other process never
leaves execve(), will result in the sysctl spinning and never returning
to userspace. Processes should always eventually leave execve(), but
spinning in kernel while we wait is bad for countless reasons, and
particularly harmful if execve() itself is deadlocked.
Possibly we should return another error, or return a marker indicating
the thread is in execve() so it can be reported that way in userspace.

mounted FS' problems. These are more along the lines of 'avoiding an
avoidable panic' than a complete solution to removable devices. We
now close the barn door after the horse has gotten lose and has been
hit by a truck, as it were. The barn no longer catches fire in this
case, but the horse is still dead :-).
The vfs_bio.c fix causes us not to put a failed write back into the
dirty pool if the error returned was ENXIO. In that case, the buffer
is treated like any other clean buffer that's being retured. ENXIO
means the device isn't there anymore and will never be there again in
the future, so retrying is futile.
The vfs_mount.c fix treats 'ENXIO' as success for unmounting a file
system. If the device is gone, retrying later won't help and we'll
never be able to unmount the device.
These two are part of a larger patch set submitted by the author. The
other patches will be forth coming. I added comments to these two

dump using mechanically generated/extracted debugging output rather than
a simple memory dump. Current sources of debugging output are:
- DDB output capture buffer, if there is captured output to save
- Kernel message buffer
- Kernel configuration, if included in kernel
- Kernel version string
- Panic message
Textdumps are stored in swap/dump partitions as with regular dumps, but
are laid out as ustar files in order to allow multiple parts to be stored
as a stream of sequentially written blocks. Blocks are written out in
reverse order, as the size of a textdump isn't known a priori. As with
regular dumps, they will be extracted using savecore(8).
One new DDB(4) command is added, "textdump", which accepts "set",
"unset", and "status" arguments. By default, normal kernel dumps are
generated unless "textdump set" is run in order to schedule a textdump.
It can be canceled using "textdump unset" to restore generation of a
normal kernel dump.
Several sysctls exist to configure aspects of textdumps;
debug.ddb.textdump.pending can be set to check whether a textdump is
pending, or set/unset in order to control whether the next kernel dump
will be a textdump from userspace.
While textdumps don't have to be generated as a result of a DDB script
run automatically as part of a kernel panic, this is a particular useful
way to use them, as instead of generating a complete memory dump, a
simple transcript of an automated DDB session can be captured using the
DDB output capture and textdump facilities. This can be used to
generate quite brief kernel bug reports rich in debugging information
but not dependent on kernel symbol tables or precisely synchronized
source code. Most textdumps I generate are less than 100k including
the full message buffer. Using textdumps with an interactive debugging
session is also useful, with capture being enabled/disabled in order to
record some but not all of the DDB session.
